WEB DESIGNER | BUSINESS GUY | NERD I REALLY HATE HELEVETICA

This past weekend I got the opportunity to live the HIGHLIFE in Boston… Well the South Boston Highlife.

Alright, to be honest I spent most of my time touring Boston as my wife presented at a Masters conference. So, what is one to do with so much free time in Boston. Live The Dunkin’ Donuts lifestyle, of course. Upon landing in New England, I made it my goal to eat at least 70% of my meals at Dunkin Donuts.

Regrettably, I not only met that goal but surpassed it. Once I get down from my sugar rush, I’ll let you know how good of a call this was.

Second – Reason 4,561 why I love Damon Albarn – His atypically British hipster attitude. In particular, his response towards glee asking to use Gorillaz songs in their show. Well, that and his uncanny resemblance to my half-brother.

As probably the only person in the world who, as a kid, chose Joe Montana as the person he’d be stuck on a deserted island with – even I think this is a dick move.

Fourth – While I’m sure you receive a predominantly positive response from those hearing the term “I’m sorry, I didn’t get that, lets try that again” repeated fifty times, I would rather be kicked in the head by a horse the size of ten horses all molded together into one big horse than dial that number ever again. It was incapable of directing me to the correct department despite my responding to each question with the word ‘exterminate’ in a metallic voice.

Sixth – I want to like this song so much more, but I find the song too frustrating to allow for repeated listens. But the video on the other hand… Pure genius. Click below to see a cardboard cutout recreation of Star Wards for Jeremy Messersmith’s Tatooine.

Seventh – For the five of you who loved spending their Friday nights on Chatroulette, you already know this, but for the rest of us – Chatroulette is officially dead.

Eighth – The Kid Belo is back at it again, I’m not sure if this is in Calgary, but it’s pretty amazing mural.
